We went to one of the world’s most contested borders: southern Lebanon, along Israel. It’s a place that’s almost always in the headlines for conflict, but that’s not the full picture. While we did see Israeli missile fire and Hezbollah posters, we also saw quiet farms and people who welcomed us in without hesitation. It’s a border defined by conflict, where people are trying to live normal lives.
